OpenOffice is included in RHEL 3 beta 1. Here's a quick list of what's
enhanced in this beta (from the announcement yesterday):
- Desktop enhancements
* XFree86 4.3.0
* Bluecurve (tm) graphical user interface (Unified GNOME/KDE look
and feel)
* OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 office productivity suite
* Ximian Evolution 1.4.3
* Mozilla 1.4
Now given that RHEL has a 5+ year life cycle, this means that this
configuration will be supported for at least 5 years. Reading between
the lines, we also know that that the consumer releases (e.g. RHL 9) are
the real betas for the RHEL releases. I would conclude that the rumour
is baseless. As long as Red Hat continues to provide consumer releases,
they will provide desktop tools for those.
Disclaimer: I don't have any inside knowledge of what Red Hat is doing.
My guesses are based on publicly available information.
